Time to sit back and unwind! Apologies for the nod to Will Smith there but I couldn't help it!
So Summer has well and truly arrived in the Highlands and for most it would be "taps aff" but here it was a bit more reserved kettle of fish with picnics on the bistro set in our garden and the idea of making homemade lemonade thanks to a Tesco version we tried recently.
This version of lemonade is really refreshing and really light tasting (despite the sugar) and I am really happy with the way it turned out.
What you will need:
3 unwaxed lemons, cut randomly (skin on - the lot!)
140g sugar (to taste, you can add more)
1 litre water
Add the lemons, sugar and half the water to a blender or food processor and blend.
Place into a sieve over a bowl and stir until all the juice has come though. Discard the pulp (coz there will be seeds and rind there - YUCK!)
Add the juice to the rest of the water and chill. Add ice to serve.
Simple as that really! If you want to make it PINK lemonade, add raspberries or cranberries for a bit more tartness and a lovely pinky colour :)
Pardon for the lack of arty photos!
